What's inside
“The guy who checked us in even gave us a little tutorial because it was my first time bouldering.”
“I frequent the South Austin location as I am closer and honestly prefer the South location since it has lead climbing routes.”
“I’ve used the yoga and fitness classes and really enjoy the variety in energy from the instructors and the different types of classes.”
“The hangboards were set very low to the floor compared to what I'm used to, so they felt cramped to use.”
What climbers say again and again

From the reviews
It was our first time here and we had an amazing time! True I had some split skin on my fingers and other parts of my hands and had to mentally calculate every move because I have long nails and didn't get the chance to cut them but it was still a lot of fun! I felt like Spiderwoman on a 4'11" body!
Crux Central has some of the best routesetting I've ever seen. They have really exotic holds, including some holds that the head setter designed. The setting is complex and fun to figure out - at all grades - the gym is really geared toward intermediate and beginner climbers.
YEAR UPDATE// Crux climbing is my favorite gym, and getting a membership has been great for me! I share a “crew membership” with friends that gives us guest passes to use to bring other friends, and reduces the price since we all signed up.
Really cool facility, great environment, cool climbs and amenities. I frequent the South Austin location as I am closer and honestly prefer the South location since it has lead climbing routes. Really enjoyed this Central location though and all it has to offer
Birthday parties at Crux Climbing Center Central - Yoga & Fitness
Crux Climbing Center Central - Yoga & Fitness hosts birthday parties — confirmed on their own site. Climbing parties come with staff who handle the harnesses and belaying, so parents can mostly watch. One thing that's different here: every guest needs a signed waiver — send the gym's waiver link to the other parents when you send invites, or check-in day gets slow. Packages, party rooms, and pricing change often, so check the current options and book ahead — weekend slots go fast at popular gyms.
